He has experience competing at the highest level and has been able to significantly improve Leicester&#8217;s frontline. If he could stay healthy next season, he could play a key role in pushing their promotion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"430\" data-end=\"733\">Leeds United are also enthusiastic about Callum Wilson.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"430\" data-end=\"733\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leicester_needs_a_quality_player_to_bounce_back\"><\/span>Leicester needs a quality player to bounce back<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"735\" data-end=\"1085\">Leicester City has been relegated to the championship, but is expected to bounce back hard. To do this, they need to sign a quality player, and Wilson has both the ability and experience to change offense. He may be open to new challenges, and joining a club that was recently relegated to Premier League ambitions could be an attractive opportunity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"735\" data-end=\"1085\">\n<h2 data-start=\"735\" data-end=\"1085\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Callum_Wilson_could_improve_Leicester\"><\/span>Callum Wilson could improve Leicester<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Warm up for Newcastle United Calm Wilson (Ryan Pierse\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1439\">The former Newcastle striker has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, but he hopes to overcome those problems and play regularly. Leicester City can provide him with the platform he needs, and this move is potentially ideal for all involved. Moreover, signing a player of his quality on a free transfer will be a master stroke for any club. He has 88 Premier League goals in his name.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1701\">It will be interesting to see if the fox can get trades across the line. If they are successful, they can allocate funds to enhance other areas of the squad. If you want to return to the Premier League next summer, quality signatures are essential.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A detailed view of a plate with a name reading &#8220;Leister City&#8221; behind the dugout.
